Agency Tests Security Blimp in Washington

Via [www.livejournal.com] I found [www.guardian.co.uk]

WASHINGTON (AP) – Here’s a head-turner for a security-nervous city: A large white object was spotted in the skies above the nation’s capital in the pre-dawn hours Wednesday.

Pentagon police said the Defense Department is testing a security blimp – fully equipped with surveillance cameras. The white blimp was spotted early Wednesday morning hovering at various times over the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol.

I wonder if they’ll name it Rover?

    How boring.. it’s normal airship shaped and not at all like a saucer.

    The Security Blimp has been flying over the NY City area for the last few days. It has been seen moored at Floyd Bennett field.
    Floyd Bennett field is at the intersection of the Belt Parkway and Flatbush Avenue.
    It’s an unmarked white Blimp.
    It makes a wonderful eye in the sky that can fly day or night and with its high powered optics can almost read the newspaper over your shoulder
